Early on in MiHoyo’s Honkai Star Rail, you will be prompted to decide between Stelle or Caelus in order to advance. These are Star Rail’s key protagonists and characters. Although Kafka and Silver Wolf are your starting characters in the tutorial, neither of them are among the playable characters in Star Rail. Instead, you must choose an Active Receptacle from the two available. But which MC should I pick in HSR? What distinguishes these two Receptacles from one another? To find out whether to chose Stelle or Caelus, read our guide.
Which Honkai Star Rail option should you choose: Stelle or Caelus?
In Honkai Star Rail, it makes no difference whether you select Stelle or Caelus because neither decision changes the plot, objectives, or progression. In the end, it all comes down to whether you want to play a male or female role. But because the main character cannot be changed or switched, you must pick them carefully. After choosing a character, you cannot switch to a different one unless you reroll or create a new account.
Caelus and Stelle both have the same baseline stats, path kinds, combat, talents, and abilities. In this situation, selecting one character over another won’t have much of an impact. Their gender roles are the only distinction. You can create a codename for a character after you’ve chosen them and moved on with them. This codename serves as a nickname for your main character.
